Hi all,
As of right now, I do not intend on operating in 2022. I will provide updates if things change.

**If you are an existing client or we've already been in touch about doing a photo shoot, please contact me and I will absolutely honor still doing the shoot!**

Thank you for understanding.

Hello all,

This is a huge, scary step for me. But it's too important to not be said. And as today is National Coming Out Day, I couldn't think of a better time to post this.

I've long debated if I should advertise as an LGBTQ+ friendly business. I want people to know I provide a safe, inclusive environment. But what if I advertise this and it drives clients away? That fear has won in the past.

Today, I'm not letting it win. Today, I am saying loudly that I am not only an LGBTQ+ friendly business, but also an LGBTQ+ owned business. Effective immediately, I will be including in all advertising that I am an LGBTQ+ friendly business. Because I don't ever want a potential client to have to ask or to not contact me because they're too afraid of exclusion.

Posting this terrifies me. Because I myself am not out. Only those closest to me know. And I am never out at work. But now my public business page, which I am linked to, is out. And anyone, including coworkers, could see this. I know posting this is a giant step, but I have many more to take on a personal level.

I know that fear is not the answer. I know that silence is not the answer. I know that the only way we progress is by having the difficult conversations. I may still be fearful, but I will no longer be silenced.

❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

Thank you for your support,

Boring camera bags don't work for me! Every camera bag is either too large or too small. This one is too large, and if I'm going to carry this big ol' thing around, it's gonna be in style!
Featuring pins from my fave TV shows Supernatural and Impractical Jokers, fave old school video games Pacman and Super Mario, cute animals, lgbtq+ support, retro nerdiness, and my love of nautical things! Plus some camera pins of course 😎 Can't wait to get out with my new bag!
(Forgive the crappy cell phone photos!)
